Do you ever have those hypothetical conversations with yourself? Well, I kinda do all of the time.

And trust me--I've had the conversation of blog conference speaking with myself plenty of times.

Why, I'm not really sure. It's not that I think I'm deserving. It's just that sometimes I think people may get desperate. And you always have to be prepared for desperate times. So I prepared myself.

I prepared by saying "No. I would never. Absolutely not even an option."

But sometimes you know how those never's turn out.

The other day I was approached about speaking at Elevate Conference on May 11th in Huntington Beach, CA and before I could remember that I told myself I would never...I accidentally said "yes, yes, absolutely yes!" So there we have it. California, I will be seeing your sweet face soon.

I guess Bieber knew what he was talking about all along.

ps. If you are in the California area or heck--even if you aren't, I would love to see your sweet face in May. And don't worry--they prepared themselves with much more talented speakers than I (hello Little Miss Momma, Sugar and Dots, and Little Penelope Lane).

pps. I am ridiculously nervously excited. Lord knows what will come out of my mouth, but I can't wait to find out. I promise I won't say anything absurd. Except we know how promises turn out... a lot like nevers.

I am SO jealous that Cali is a million miles away from me! What an AWESOME opportunity for your Erin!! EEEP! How about we get a livesteam for the folks that can't make it to CA and charge a certain price? ok thanks. :)

Or I could have my mom tape it from the back of the room like she would've when I was a ballerina shaking my butt on stage as a 5 year old. I'm thinking the ballerina tape would be much more entertaining though. Honestly.

I believe we are just sharing our "story" with blogging--Somehow I have to draw out the sentence "blogging seemed like a better option than working out" into a 30 minute segment? Maybe I could run in place for like 28 minutes to prove my point...blogging is more fun.

Congrats! I read your blog daily and I know you will do an awesome job! You have a skill in the blogosphere! This will be an amazing opportunity. Sometimes the scariest moments in life end up making the biggest impact! Good luck!XO Brooke widespaces.blogspot.com

Panicking. WHY OH WHY they think I am as awesome as you REAL bloggers with REAL stories... I have no clue. Freaking out. Remember that one time when I cried in my public speaking class in college? Yes. That. Ahhhhh

YAY! that sounds amazing! I would love to become such a successful blogger that I get asked to speak at a blog conference lol. Unfortunately I live on the opposite side of the U.S. from Cali, so that trip won't be happening, but good luck!!

Yay! I will be there, and the final straw to convince me to purchase a ticket was when I saw that you'd be speaking! If you want, I'll do the motions in the audience during your talk, like a mom from Toddler and Tiaras.

I read and appreciate every one of your comments. Thanks for stopping by my space and sharing a piece of yourself on this huge ole internet. I meant that in the least creepy way possible. I'm just good at making everything awkward. Anyhow, thank you for your comments. They make me smile :)

Welcome to Living In Yellow! I'm Erin. This is a compilation of thoughts and things that make my "average" life a little bit more wonderful. Grab a glass of wine, sit back, relax, and stay awhile. At least that's what I plan on doing.
